Climbing Gear as Sports Equipment on Flights

Its frustrating to find you can book a cheap holiday and get a cheap flight but end up paying a small fortune to take your climbing gear on holiday with you, while others can pay a small nominal fee to take there sporting equipment with them ranging from Bicycles, golf equipment, skis, surfboards, wind surfers, hang gliders, and firearms.
Is it too much to ask to have one rucksack of climbing gear.
